On Saturday afternoon the New York Red Bulls traveled north of the border to BMO field where Toronto FC had not lost in 17 games and left with a resounding 4-1 win. Alongside ESC, the Garden State Supporters and yours truly made the trip to the capital of Ontario and saw our boys embarrass a sold out arena much to the dismay to those unlucky few home fans who were in our section.

Much like in the Southward of RBA both supporters groups brought the noise and enthusiasm and had most of the surrounding fans intrigued on what was happening behind them instead of on the pitch. I can't speak for other stadiums in the MLS but the security/police escort in and out of the stadium for us in Toronto was something I have only seen in Europe.

As for the game itself, the Red Bulls can thank Bouna Condol(and the crossbar) in the early going who bailed his team out with strong saves and stronger challenges. Every time I see the 28-year-old Senegalese keeper, his play and knowledge is only getting stronger showing much improvement since the season opener.

Six minutes later the lead would be doubled thanks to an own goal by Toronto's Nane Joseph gave the Red Bulls a commanding 2-0 lead heading into the interval. After the break Toronto manged to cut the deficit to one with a goal by captain Dwayne De Rosario who managed to squeak a save-able goal through Condol's legs.

That would be all the Canadians would get to cheer about on the day with Juan Pablo Angel scoring his 12th goal of the season from the spot in the 60th minute after Nana Attakora was sent off for a handball in the box. With the man advantage the Red Bulls scored their fourth goal with Carl Robinson netting against his former club and opting to not celebrate to show the city he called home for the past three years. It was Robinson's first goal for NYRB.

For just the second time with all three DP's on the field for the same time, the Red Bulls managed to put up the most goals all season and strengthen their grip on second place trailing leaders Columbus by six. With the win they are eight points clear of Toronto and will now look ahead to a visit from fifth place San Jose at 7 pm at RBA. As always, I invite everyone to join the GSS in section 133 for the game as well as pre/post match actives at MMM Bello's in Newark.

The GSS Toronto road trip can officially be deemed a success as we all hope the team will be returning to the city in November for the MLS cup. Lastly, if you happened to watch the game or have it dvr'd pay close attention to each post goal fan celebrations as yours truly was Mr. Showtime throughout the game.
